England's one-day captain, Stuart Broad, has been fined for the second time at the World Twenty20, losing 40% of his match fee for a slow over-rate in the win over Sri Lanka.

The International Cricket Council found England to be two overs behind the target when time allowances were applied, leading to an automatic penalty.

As the captain, Broad was hit with double the fine of his 10 team-mates, having already lost 15% of his previous fee for criticising umpires after the Duckworth/Lewis defeat by New Zealand.

More important than any financial loss is the potential of Broad being suspended should he re-offend on over-rates.

Another instance inside a year would see him miss a match.

An ICC statement read: "In accordance with the regulations of the ICC code of conduct … governing minor over-rate offences, players are fined 10% of their match fees for every over their side fails to bowl in the allotted time, with the captain fined double that amount.

"As such, Broad was fined 40% of his match fee, while his players received 20% fines. If Broad is found guilty of one more minor over-rate offence in T20 internationals over the next 12 months, he will receive a one-match suspension as per the provisions of the ICC code of conduct for players and player support personnel."
